117. Changing Destiny

-A few hours ago, in Los Angeles, Hero Association Base. When Sam was about to revive the Dragons, Eve was unconscious. 

A dull ache kept hitting his forehead. In the back of his mind, a thought continued to spiral. 

"I couldn't save him… I couldn't save anyone." Thoughts like these kept bombarding his mind. 

As if to pull him out of his thoughts, a hand gently patted him on his forehead. 

The touch he felt was so gentle that it reminded him of a distant feeling that he had long since forgotten— Love. 

"Dad… wake up…." 

In the distance, he heard a voice. A voice that was calling for him. Asking him to wake up. 

So he did. 

With the little strength left in his body, he weakly parted his eyelids and opened his eyes. 

"Dad! You're awake!" 

Eve looked around and found himself lying on a hospital bed in a medical ward.
